MN History Center

This week's #FavoriteResourceFriday is Eagle Eye Citizen, a resource from @LibraryCongress. It's designed to help middle and high school students think critically about civic participation, Congress, and American history using primary sources.

We’re asking for YOUR help! MNHS is requesting design funding from the Minnesota legislature to advance collections care and improve visitor services. You can contact your legislator to share what the History Center means to you and encourage support: mnhs.info/43T58LS

We've had to make some difficult decisions regarding our operations for the next few months. We look forward to a time when we can reopen our doors fully to the public.

For the continued safety of our staff and visitors and in compliance with the governor's March 25 executive order, we are extending our temporary closure. All historic sites will now remain closed to the public through May 1. For more info, visit mnhs.org/covid-19.

In response to the Minnesota Department of Health’s newest COVID-19 recommendations, the Minnesota Historical Society has decided to close all historic sites and museums to the public starting tomorrow through March 31. Our full statement here: mnhs.org/media/news/118…
